Was looking around for examples of git for complex document/policy management outside of software/code and found this repo where the Council of the District of Columbia stores its statues and code as code in a git repo with a full history of commit changes, diffs etc.

It was amazing days in DC with Tom MacWright building the initial tools to make this so. It'd be so amazing for all governments to do this, to make the law (& how it changes over time) readily available.

You'll have to copy paste this, since Tom blocks HN: https://macwright.com/2013/04/16/dc-code-hackathon
